Dear Next Generation

I wrote this list when blessed with having, from my daughter and son-inlaw, three grandsons (my son later added another grandson). This list, to me, has stood for at least a short test of time as the grandsons are now ages 8 to 13.

One Pharmacist’s View

A few years ago, many of you got a lot more enjoyment out of my dilemma with excess squirrels than I figured you deserved. The squirrel that took to church going got the most attention after the preacher and the deacons went in hot pursuit of this uninvited non-baptistic rodent. It was later identified as a Nazarene squirrel. Although the Nazarenes denied even knowing the rodent. And this was on a Sunday sabbath day no less. Then about that same time period while I was off visiting my kids down in South Florida a different squirrel moved into my house. It made quite a mess too before my daughter enlisted Chock Tilley to come up and catch the criminal varmint. He did and that was the end of those aggravating rodents. I thought.

COVID postpones Homecoming This COVID stuff is disrupting everything! And how dare it interfere with Homecoming? There’s always been a joke between coaches about homecomings …..We know there’s going to be a homecoming ceremony and a dance and there’s a rumor there’s going to be a ball game! What if the opponent can’t play because they can’t put a complete team on the court? The answer……You postpone homecoming until the visiting can play! Thus the new date for homecoming is January 29 and hopefully both teams will be able to field a team! Holdenville drops two at Okemah Okemah is a tough place to play! The Panthers are always good and it’s really hard to defeat them on their home court! The ever improving Holdenville boys played well at Okemah and came within a basket of tying the Panthers. Brayden McLean poured in 22 points to lead the Wolverines in scoring in Holdenville’s 57-55 loss to the Panthers.
Holdenville’s David Olney drives to the basket in the Wolverines’ contest with North Rock Creek. Holdenville will travel to Stroud this week for the 66 Conference Tournament.
